Referring to Figure the feeder 13 is of a rcctangular form, or could be of a circular form. if desired. and said t'ccder has rusting upon its upper end the section 14 which is provided on four sides with the ribs 15 constructed and arranged precisely the same as shown in Figures 3 and t and which holds the walls of the feeder 13 and the section H in alin'cmcnt against lateral niovonu-nt.

in Figure 6 the section 16 is of a greater thickness than the wall of the feeder l7 and has at its lower end an annularly arranged cut out portion 18 of a width equal to the thickness of the feeder l7 and into which the feeder extends. as full shown. so that the inner walls of the feeder and section are This cut out portion forms an annular flange 19 and the upper end of the sec tion on its outer periphery is cut away, as indicated at 20 so as to receive the annular liaugv 19 of another suction so that two or more sections may he placed one upon the other.

In Figure 7 we have n'ovided the section it with four downwardly extending flan cs 22 arranged at the corners so that the few er 23 and the section 21 are held in a position with their interior bore in alinement.

in Figure 8 we have shown a section 24 provided on all four sides with downwardly vxlcnding flanges 25 which extend the greater portion of the width of the section 24 and are adapted to engage the outer periphery of the feeder 26 So'as to hold the sections against lateral movement on the feeder with their inner walls in perfect alinemcnt.

While we have shown and described a number of modifications of the invention, it wiii he understood that applicants invention resides broadly in roviding an attachment for a. feeder for ingot molds adapted to rest upon the upper end thereof without making any change whatever in the feeder so .lS to extend the feeder for casting :1 Ion cr ingot.

llaving thus shown and described our invention, what we claim is- 1. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds, comprising a section located on the upper end of the feeder and having substantially the same cross sectional area.

2. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds, comprising sections located on the upper end of the feeder each of said sections being of substantially the same cross sectional area of the feeder.

3. An attachment for feeders for ingot. molds, comprising a section located on the upper end of the feeder and having means for engaging the outer periphery of the feeder'for holding it against lateral Hl0\( ment thereon.

4. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds, comprising a section of substantially the same cross sectional area as the feeder and having' means extending below the lower end thereof and engaging the outer periphery of the feeder for holding it on the feeder against lateral movement.

5. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds, comprising a section of substantially the'same cross sectional area as the feeder and having means around the lower rod for holding it upon the upper end of the tender.

6. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds, comprising a $80 an of substantially the same cross sectional area as the lender and having means on several sides for engaging the feeder and holding it upon tho upper end thereof.

7. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds. comprising a section of substantially the same cross sectional area as the feeder. and having means on several sides extending below the lower end and engaging the outer periphery of the feeder for holding it against lateral movement thereon.

. 8. An attachment for feeders for ingot molds, comprising a sectiouof substantially the same cross sectional area as the feeder, having strengthening means on its outer periphery extending below the lower end thereof and engaging the outer periphery of the feeder for holding it against lateral movement thereon.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures.
